Hello,

I've got another xrandr issue: after playing tuxracer (in 640x480) for
some refreshing minutes, xrandr can no longer switch or either print
resolutions, I get this error message for each xrandr invocation:

$ xrandr --verbose
xrandr: output VGA1 cannot use rotation "normal" reflection "none"
$ xrandr --output VGA1 --off
xrandr: output VGA1 cannot use rotation "normal" reflection "none"

This is the tail of the kernel log:

[drm] DAC-6: set mode 640x480 1f
[drm] LVDS-8: set mode 640x480 2a
i2c-adapter i2c-0: unable to read EDID block.
i915 0000:00:02.0: VGA-1: no EDID data
i2c-adapter i2c-1: unable to read EDID block.
i915 0000:00:02.0: LVDS-1: no EDID data
i2c-adapter i2c-0: unable to read EDID block.
[... lots of i2c error messages]
[drm] DAC-6: set mode 1024x768 2b
[drm] LVDS-8: set mode 1024x768 2c


00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile
915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML
Express Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6
Family) PCI Express Port 1 (rev 03)

I've also compiled the I82801 I2C driver in the kernel (and no other
I2C bus drivers are enabled):

$ gzip -cd /proc/config.gz | grep I2C_I801
CONFIG_I2C_I801=y


I have *many* of these messages, are these normal?

i915 0000:00:02.0: VGA-1: no EDID data
i2c-adapter i2c-1: unable to read EDID block.
i915 0000:00:02.0: LVDS-1: no EDID data
i2c-adapter i2c-0: unable to read EDID block.



thanks,
 Adam
